6-10 Latvian forward/center decided to turn down professional offers to play basketball in college next year. Could be one of the more college ready players still available.

Rivals' Corey Evans reports in this free article that Blumbergs is receiving interest from Creighton, Georgia Tech, Auburn, Seton Hall and a few others. Evans says in that piece that Blumbergs has a college-ready body and a good skill-set from 20-feet in, and could produce right away.

Sounds that way -- I don't believe they've offered, but CU appears to be among his suitors. Here's a video clip of Blumbergs in action.

Hilltop, seems like there's not a lot out there on him. Or Epperson for that matter. Who's the better player immediately, and then long term?

Blumbergs is an unknown, but Epperson is clearly the target.

Wonder if this will happen now that JE is on board.

Even more, I wonder how much attrition will occur these next few weeks that will make the pursuit of more kids for next year a reality.
